Additional Information

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely blocks the Sun, revealing the Sun's beautiful outer atmosphere or corona. This is a rare event. The last one visible in the continental U.S. occurred in 1979 and the next will not take place until 2024. The path of totality will begin in the Pacific Ocean and travel through the central U.S. In our area, it will be a partial eclipse, which cannot be safely viewed with the naked eye. Watch this spectacular eclipse safely at Kopernik through specially filtered telescopes, including the Heliostat. Kopernik will be open that day regardless of sky conditions.
